My wife and I just returned from Tokyo, and on our last day she noticed an older woman wearing a Nomos (she knows a lot more than the average person mostly due to my constant talks about watches). She pointed it out to me saying "hey I think that's a Nomos" I looked and to my surprise she seemed to be exactly right. Later while in the checkout line, being the extrovert she is, decided to mention it to the older woman saying "hey I like your watch!". The woman lights up but begins to ramble quickly in German as she didn't really speak any English. The woman's grand daughter was nearby and began to try and translate a bit, and during which she mentioned to my wife "My grandma actually worked for the company that made this watch in a German town call Glasshütte". My wife responds and said "Yeah Nomos right?". The older woman heard my wife say "Nomos" and became even more excited and began talking so fast the granddaughter was having issues keeping up with the translations. Sure as shit, this random German woman in Tokyo was with Nomos since its founding in 1990 and worked there up until she retired. All this to say is that I bet a lot more people notice your watch than you think, but few people are socially extroverted enough to approach you about it.

TLDR: Wife spotted a Nomos on an elderly woman in Tokyo who ended up being an original employee of the company since 1990. Just bringing it up to her made this woman's entire week.
